SIMPLY LOVE

This week I am sharing the Endless Love Bundle to provide you some Valentine Card Inspiration!

Today's card is a quick and simple card.  It isn't truly a SIP (Stamps, Ink and Paper) card because I did break my own rules and use a couple of the dies and the pretty Hearts of Love 3D embossing folder from the Made with Love Suite, but the card is definitely quick and easy!  And if you don't have a Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, no worries, the card would be just as pretty without the embossing & the die cut Misty Moonlight arrow.

The Designer Series Paper(DSP) is the pretty, Made with Love 12" x 12" paper from the same suite.  It's difficult to see in the photo, but the DSP strips are woven together in the corner.

I wanted to use a non-typical color combination for today's Valentine.  I first chose the specific DSP patterns I wanted to use from the collection.  Since I was using narrow 1/2" strips, I selected smaller patterns and the main color for those happened to be Flirty Flamingo.  This isn't a color I use often.   So, I needed some help to figure out which color to combine with Flirty Flamingo.  When I'm color challenged, I go to my trusty color coach for advice, and it suggested Misty Moonlight.  This combination is definitely not one I would have picked without help from my "coach", but I tried it and was very surprised how much I liked the combination.

I stamped several hearts in the lower left half diagonal area of the card.  The Endless Love stamp set is not classified as a distINKtive stamp set, but my Misty Moonlight stamped hearts definitely turned out with a lot of shading on them.  Who knows why?  Maybe my ink pad needs reinking, but whatever the reason I really like how they turned out!  

For the inside of the card, I carried over the design from the card front.

Rather than 4 strips, I used only 2 to provide more room for the LOVE sentiment.  I guess technically, this isn't a Valentine Card, but I certainly think it could be used as one.  I like that by omitting a specific Valentine reference makes it perfect for sending love anytime of the year!
